Answer:

20, 24

Step-by-step explanation:

smaller: x

larger: 2x - 16

x + 2x - 16 = 44

3x -16 = 44

3x = 60

x = 20

smaller: x = 20

larger: 2x - 16 = 2(20) - 16 = 24

Clarissa has a budget of $1,200 a month to spend for rent and food. She has already spent $928 this month. Which inequality repr

shtirl [24]

Answer:

1200-928 = 272 for the rest of the month Clarissa has to spend.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we don't want her to go over her budget so we wouldn't choose a greater than option for her so eliminate the first option and the last option. Now we just have the middle two. We want to keep it under 1200 but theres nothing wrong with spending that exact amount each month so I would pick x less than or equal to 272, since we can still equal the total of less than the total and not go over. Option 2 or B.

The triangles are similar. <br> What is the value of x?<br><br> x =

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{39}{x-10}$ = $\frac{36}{12}$ = $\frac{15}{5}$ = 3

multiply both sides by (x - 10)

3(x - 10) = 39 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x - 10 = 13 ( add 10 to both sides )

x = 23

PLEASSSEEEE HELLLLP MEEEE!

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

1) C = 3

2) B = 5

3) C = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1)

We have:

$(2x+3)(4x-1)$

Distribute:

$=(2x+3)(4x)+(2x+3)(-1)$

Distribute:

$=8x^2+12x-2x-3$

Combine like terms:

$=8x^2+10x-(3)$

Therefore, C = 3.

Question 2)

We have:

$(x+2) (2x^2+x-1)$

Distribute:

$\displaystyle =(x+2)(2x^2)+(x+2)(x)+(x+2)( - 1)$

Distribute:

$=(2x^3+4x^2)+(x^2+2x)+(-x -2)$

Combine like terms:

$=2x^3+(5)x^2+x-2$

Therefore, B = 5.

Question 3)

We have:

$(x+2)(x^2-3x-2)$

Distribute:

$=(x+2)(x^2)+(x+2)(-3x)+(x+2)(-2)$

Distribute:

$=(x^3+2x^2)+(-3x^2-6x)+(-2x-4)$

Combine like terms:

$=x^3-x^2-(8)x-4$

So, C = 8.

Find x .<br><br> a.21.4 <br> b. 15.1 <br> c. 32.7 <br> d. 29.2

Alex73 [517]

So this is going to be using proportions, which in this case is going to be $\frac{18}{21} =\frac{25}{x}$

Firstly, cross-multiply to get $18x=525$

Next, just divide 18 on both sides, and your answer will be $x=29.2$ , or the last option.
